As part of the global effort to achieve Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), higher education plays a pivotal role in fostering sustainable awareness and promoting informed action. Accordingly, a pilot study was conducted using an online questionnaire to assess the awareness and attitudes of students at the Faculty of Philosophy in Split toward the SDGs. The research adhered to the Faculty\u2019s Code of Ethics and received approval from its Ethics Committee. The questionnaire was distributed via e\u2011mail and Facebook groups targeting Split- based students, resulting in 85 respondents (approximately 4% of the student population). The primary objective was to evaluate the level of awareness and attitudes concerning the SDGs, while specific objectives included: gauging familiarity with SDG concepts; exploring attitudes toward social, economic, and ecological aspects of sustainability; determining how frequently these topics appeared in their academic curriculum; and identifying any differences in awareness across study programs and levels. Additionally, students were asked to share their immediate associations with \u201csustainable development\u201d and their views on its purpose. Research findings show that 63.5% of students were unfamiliar with Agenda 2030, yet 71.8% encountered sustainability-related content during their studies. All SDG-related topics appeared in the curriculum to some extent. Moreover, 96.5% of respondents deemed the implementation of SDGs at the local level important, at least to some degree. Students\u2019 associations with \u201csustainable development\u201d fell into seven categories: ecology and environment; future generations and long-term perspective; society and community; economy and economics; politics and systems; energy systems and technology; and education and actors. Regarding its purpose, five themes emerged: ecological\/environmental sustainability; intergenerational solidarity; social sustainability\/stability; economic sustainability\/responsible development; and innovation\/technological progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
